How long can you last, I wonder?
I wouldn't receive an answer to that question until a long ass while later. I was honestly impressed by how long Lan Xiao Su lasted, thinking - hoping - I would just leave this place after getting a sufficient amount of rest. But alas, unknown to her, she was the exact reason I was here, and I wouldn't be leaving until I got what I wanted from her. That being said, some rest was always nice. I didn't mind it.
After a good twenty minutes of literally nothing, I decided to try a different strategy. It was one that even I myself found crazy, but at this point, I had to give it a shot.
"Ah...so tired..." I murmured 'to myself'. Of course, I was, in reality, saying this so Lan Xiao Su could hear it, but I made it seem like I was merely talking to myself and didn't have a single idea she was there. "There's...no one around...I guess...I can just take a short nap..."
Heya everyone! Cyclxne here.
Honestly, the first version of this chapter wasn't too long, around 1200 words at best. But at the same time, I wasn't about to describe a whole fight scene in 300 words, so I'm going to save that for the next chapter.
Instead, I went back and read over this chapter, and found where I was lacking in detail or thought. Of course, I edited accordingly after that, resulting in the 1528 words you see today. But this is completely unrelated to the story, and I don't know why I'm talking about this. Whatever.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you guys again in the next chapter~
